Mechwarrior Online. Yes, really :)

Hey guys

How many if you bought the clan mechs and which ones?
I did get a few and this new hero blackjack.
Its fun, after small refit ( more jumpjets, swapped weapons).
Normally I am using that or Battlemaster 1S with mixed lrm/srm setup.
Can't wait to see some clan mechs in action.
Btw, nickname's Brakkar, you can add me if you want ( I play mostly mornings or monday/tuesday afternoons).

Cheers
 
Hi mate I'm currently running a caataphract ctf 3d which took some getting used to but now getting some decent damage down. I bought an ember today which is taking a bit of getting used to and I need to change the engine. Only been playing for a few days. Kingdiomedes is my steam name

i bought the full non gold clan pack.
 
First thing to do when I get my hands on Kit Fox: see how fast it goest with best engine :D
Make some pwnzor Thor setup, my bet is on LBX, er ppc and ssrm.
Maybe some odd Mad Cat too.
I enjoy brawler setups lately, a lot. Hope that clan mechs are all about that :-)

you cant change the engines in clan mechs, the kit fox does 97.2 without speed tweak.

was playing with mine last night on the test server.
 
Meh.
I don't usually use the XL engines, but would like to use them with some clan mechs.
A bit silly choice, removing part of the customization :(

it is the compromise they decided to make to make the clan mechs unique.

the whole centre torso and everything in it is locked, its the price we have to pay for the omni pods.
 
I wonder if only primary Kit Fox doesn't have jump jets or is that for all other variants.
I still think that 100kph for light mech with no ecm is a bit slow, so jets would add some mobility.
 
So anyone tried this out now with the recent Clan invasion and patch adjustments?

I patched this up last night since not playing in October last year (40 patches!!), but didn't get a chance to play.

If anyone could help me out a lot has changed since I last played:

- I understand there is weight balancing now? If yes, are the queues shorter if you have a light or medium mech?

- Have SRMs hit detection been improved?

- Can the IS mechs foot it against the Clan mechs?

- Do you have to unlock the Clan mechs or something? I could not see them in the list mechs I had available to purchase.

- Whats with the Clan mechs and IS mechs being on the same side in pugs? Is that intended? I saw this on a you tube clip.

Thanks in advance!
 
Queue time seems random, normally says you will wait less if light or medium but doesn't always seem to happen like that (though I normally drop in a mixed weight group.
SRMs were supposed to have been improved.
IS can mix it up fine against Clan mechs.
You can only get Clan mech by purchasing them with real money at the moment. Think the first Clan mech will be able to be obtained through in game credits end of August (can't remember which though) with others coming along after that.
PGI don't seem to go much on Battletech lore so yes, i guess the Clan/IS mix is intended.

Thank you for that.

Do you think the weight balancing has improved the game? I am a medium mech fan so I think I will prefer the more balanced battles.

the weight balancing isn't really working as intended atm, i have had lots of games where i am the only light and there are no mediums.

if the matchmaking is taking a while then it just throws in anyone.
 
if you are playing solo now you are only playing against other solo players.

pgi have confirmed that all groups of 2 are more are only put into the group queue so there are no premades in with solo players anymore.
 
Getting back into this and the new faction play is awesome. Really gives you a sense of meaning compared to just random matches (and a lot more cbills)
